JUAN ANDRÉS MAYA

He was born in the gypsy neighbourhood of Sacromonte, on the 6th of January, 1972, radiating strength, art, courage, joy, dance and deepness with unique style. He started dancing at the age of 3 at the Cueva del Rocío, becoming the main attraction. At the age of 14 he travelled to Cairo with Jarapo’s company. At 17, he set up the choreography of his first play: “Passion”. He has worked with main stars such as Manolete, Canales, La Chunga and Paco Peña, among others. He has been asked to perform by Their Majesties the Monarchs of Spain in many occasions. He is at present the director of the “Granada’s Music and Dance Festival”, and is also part of the “Mario Maya’s Foundation” as guest artist in the play “Diálogos del Amargo”. He has spread his art worldwide leaving a flavour of Spanish and Flamenco.
